@#$%&*() I spend an hour and a half (they started head start early) making my character and find that somebody stole my elementalists name. One word names couldn't be made in GW1 so they couldn't be reserved.

Rameî, sans armor - sylvari first appear in the Dream wearing armor but after killing the first boss the sylvari appears on Tyria, wearing nothing bud leaves were undergarments would be. After talking to an NPC you get your armor back.

Note: sylvari undergarments are not actually clothes but are as much part of the sylvari's body as what is being covered up.

The Hall of Memorial armors and weapons are just skins. You If you don't have the weapons they don't give them to you. If you have mace and want to change its appearance to Deldrimor Mace you get the skin from HOM and double click on it then drag the actual mace to the new window to combine Deldrimor Mace skin and with the existing mace's stats. All the HOM weapons and armor work that way. If you later get armor or weapons with better stats and what the HOM skin you have to return to the hall and get them again.

You get weapon skins, armor skins and mini pets from Kimmes the Historian. The ranger pets are just walking around the hall. Most of them in the first room but the jellyfish is in the second room in the water near Kimmes. Your ranger can charm any or all of them.

I thought there was a bug with one of the weapon skins but I was mistaken. The icon does not change so it looks like weapon hasn't changed even though its renamed. But when you equipe the weapon it will show the new appearance on your character.

Guild Wars 2 is now live for those who did not pre-purchase. So buy it now and join in the fun, And if you buy the standard version and decide later you'd like the deluxe you can upgrade later. I think the CE is sold out.

I just came from getting my weekly slice of cheeseburger pizza. And now I'm laughing at myself. Seems I unconsciously patterned my engineer's face after the restaurant's manager.

Additional image of my sylvari elementalist. So far, he's the only character I like in Hall of Memorial's Heritage Armor. Course it could be that the heavy armor and medium armor don't look good without the shoulder pads. There are also should pads for the light armor but I don't think they're needed to look good in the light armor. The staff is also a HOM skin.

There normal bags and boxes (hold anything) and specialized bags and boxes. Some will hold only crafting materials, some only junk and some only armor and weapons. Some will make what is put in them invisible to merchants so you can't accidentally sell items.

As a tailor I made myself four ordinary eight slot bags. The bags you get from merchants or at personal story rewards only hold 4 items. There are larger bags (and boxes) but you can't craft those to start.

Each crafting discipline comes with some already known recipes its also possible to try different things to come up with your own. Recipes are also available from vendors.
